The committee on resolutions Submit.
cd lengthy report, which, after some
discussion was adopted. The following
was also adopted as the plan Of work,
Your committee would respectfully
report that while our prohibitory statutes
are enforced in large majority Of the
counties of the State and that the open
saloons and drinking places, heretofore
existing therein, have been closed, there
yet remains much work to be done to cut
off the illicit and clandestne sale of in
toxicating beverages, and the amendment
and enforcement of the pharmacy law,
regulating its sale by druggists within the
State, The State Temperance Alliance,
with its county and township auxillaries,
the Law and Order League, the |. o, G.,
t., the w. G. Il. u, and other temper
ance organizations, have great need to
redouble their efforts to arouse the peo-
pie and cooperate with all law and order
loving citizens in holding the ground al
ready gained and making an aggressive
contest for the supremacy of law and
good government throughout the State,
We recommend the holding Of township
county and district meetings, under the
direction of the executive committee of
the State Temperance Alliance. Cooper.
alton with all other organizations and
individuals, who are in favor Of the en-
forcement and observance Of law, to ere.
ate public sentiment, to help organize
and direct such sentiment, and unite II
in this contest of the people with the
liquor traffic, We recommend that at all
such meetings, funds be raised to meet
the expenses of the general work. We
recommend that each county take immed,
late steps TO raise not less than 800 To
reinforce and aid the State Alliance.
Its present needs are imperative as shown
by the reports of the secretary and treas
urer, and call for prompt and vigorous
response. The raising of monies to car
ry the temperance work is of so impor
tant a character that it should receive the
personal attention of all who desire the
triumph of the law in this State.
